Crucians at Bedtime by Peter Bishop
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2018 3:47 pm
Some years ago Peter Bishop was fortunate enough to get a small paperback, 'Another Bloody Tangle' published by a regular sports publisher who would publish one humorous sports book every year. It sold reasonably well and justifiably so.
'Crucians at Bedtime' is the follow-up book which is self-published. The result is a reasonably-priced - about the same as two fishing magazines - paperback consisting of 25 tales, mostly true but one or two works of fiction, that make for an easy read and an ideal stocking-filler. I think most anglers of some experience will have little problem relating to and enjoying these tales, and therefore I can thoroughly recommend it.
Whilst the title mentions crucians the subjects covered are of a far wider basis, with tales of success and disaster, even mystery.
If I have any criticism then it is that it might have benefited from tighter editing and proof-reading, the occasional misuse of apostrophes and capital letters jarring my sensibilities but don't let this put you off.
The book is £7.99
It's available direct from the author:
Cheque for £10 (inc. P&P) payable to the author, Peter Bishop,
